Review:

taylorj828 says:Very interesting! You capture Dumbledore's voice perfectly! And McGonagall sounds much like herself as well - very nicely done! I can hear Dumbledore saying all these things, and of course, above all, hear him plotting and planning, and secretly sliding the pawns into position. I like that imagery at the end of your story. Because that was the prevailing image I got after reading the seventh book - awe, and shock even, at Dumbledore's ability to play their lives out like pieces on a chessboard.

I also enjoy the notion of young people fighting, and find the choosing of students important and intriguing. The adults, in the HP series, wanted to protect their children from the fighting - but it was the children, after all, whose job it was to win the war. They were the young ones, and their parents had already had their chance years before. Interesting ideas.

I like stories that make me think, and this is a very interesting opening chapters. (o: And very well written!

Author's Response: Thank you! I have a hard time writing Dumbledore but I think this story is the only time where I've come even close to being in character.
